In Detroit a leader of the Pro-Palestinian protesters said "This community will be the community who unseats Joe Biden. … A president who has fostered an atmosphere of hate against our community."
Just that ignorance of Muslim and Palestinians here. The atmosphere of hate is coming from Trump and the Republicans and these people are openly supporting him. Being used by the right to help bring more prejudice and racist policies to their people. Trump gets elected and you can say goodbye to any chance of Palestinian recovery. The Israelis are not going to stop with Gaza. Once it's secured the war with the west bank will begin.
Yeah, those ranks of "protesters" are riddled with Republican/Putin operatives. If Biden is unseated, say goodbye to Palestine. Israel will have the green light to eradicate the people of Gaza.
Palestine, Ukraine, and Taiwan sovereignty will all be eliminated under Trump.
Do you have a source on that?
I'd also like some sources, but I just find it highly unlikely that people who care about Palestine don't care about all of the domestic brown Americans.
It certainly isn't a happy choice to vote for Biden, but there's absolutely no way I'm going to make any other choice. I remember how Trump harassed Muslims on Day 1. Harassment of all brown people, including murders and assaults, all rose under Trump. Voting for Biden is a vote to keep my extended ethnic community safe. And I intend to use that vote to pressure Biden into bitchslapping Netanyahu to stop genociding other brown people.
I can understand unhappy sentiment towards Biden. I can understand being reluctant to vote, and at this point, not wanting to vote for him. But I cannot understand "we will unseat Biden" sentiment. Someone who says that is no ally to brown Americans. Nor Palestinians, considering the wholehearted support Trump has for Netanyahu.
That would essentially do far greater harm to the U.S.
And if you disagree with them, they'll literally claim you love genocide. I've seen that repeatedly. Dumbest shit ever
Turtles but, instead of heads, just shit comes out both ends of the shell.
Are you surprised that they support the guy that banned Muslim refugees just one year into office?

This person will be at the front of the line to have their citizenship stripped & exiled if Trump is elected.
If you don't think Trump will do it & SCotUS will allow it, you're a dangerous moron.
